Take your game to the next level

Garmin's Approach S3 golf GPS watch helps bring your game into focus with a high-resolution, glove-friendly touchscreen for accuracy when it counts. With a touch of your finger, you'll be able to see the true shape and layouts of greens and map pin locations with your fingertip, giving you a better picture to help you choose your next shot. Best of all, it comes preloaded with over 38,000 international courses, so you're sure to have coverage nearly anywhere you play.

Reliable performance

Robust built-in GPS technology finds you automatically on the links and keeps you locked in. The bold display is easy to follow and manipulate in just about any golfing weather — even bright sunlight — and the rechargeable battery might even be more reliable than your favorite caddy. You'll get up to 8 hours of solid GPS enhanced power, or 4 weeks in regular watch mode.

One watch, many functions

The Approach S3's waterproof construction lets you enjoy it in rough weather and around pools, lakes, and rivers. You get an odometer to track how far you've walked and a round timer to monitor how long it takes to get through 18 holes. And the alarm clock feature can help ensure you never miss an early tee time.

Be the ball

Green View shows you the shape and layout of each green, so you'll know where to aim if you have an obstructed view. You can even touch and drag the pin to the day's location to make things easier on those tough par 3 holes.

Find distances easily

The Approach S3 gives you distances to the front, back, and center of the green, plus distances to doglegs and layups. You can even add and save customizable yardages for bunkers and hazards from anywhere on the course. One glance at your wrist offers you a wealth of information with clear, easy-to-read numbering.

Use it as a scorecard

The Approach S3 offers digital scorecard options for individual players, including Stroke Play and Stableford. You can save, review, and print scorecards from your computer. Hit a really long one? Use the Measure Shot feature to tell you exactly how far it went.

Ready for prime time

Garmin's extensive course database is preloaded into the Approach S3, so you won't need any subscriptions or additional downloads to enjoy it. Simply charge it up, throw on your flat cap, and you're ready to go. You can obtain new course update downloads directly from Garmin's website.

Garmin S3

Written By RK, Palm Beach on Sunday, March 16, 2014

Hate this product. Love the watch, the charging clip is terrible. Does not easily seat in the clip, and sometimes it moves enough that you think it is charged and it is not. Would be much better with a micro USB connection that would allow charging anywhere. the clip is clunky and expensive to replace. Lots of these refurbished because they do not last.

Garmin Approach S3

I have only used this product on one course thus far, but it is great. No problems. Instructions are very clear and Approach S3 is very easy to use. Very convenient to just wear in on my wrist and not have to retrieve it from cart or bag to check distances. I am loving it!

Great product

I've owned (and liked) several Sky Caddies but the Approach S3 is the best golf course distance manager for me. Don't have to worry about losing it. It's very accurate and useful. Especially like ability to mark various points on the course. Great product.

Accurate with some area's for improvement

Have played 6 rounds with the S3 and found it quite accurate at distances, but...the battery life leaves something to be desired... I will not risk trying to get two rounds out of one charge if you are taking advantage of all the features of the S3 during a round....also during round to view display you need to slide the unlock screen and at times it is a bit to sensitive...all in all it works for my purpose and all the guys in 4-some are asking yardage from me as it is very easy to read at all times. Charging connector is a weak point as it is difficult to attach to pins on back of S3...not a good design.

Pros:Easy to read and quite accurate, lite on wrist.

Cons:Battery life not as good as hoped , touch screen is a bit to sensitive at times. Charging connector can be a problem.

Great GPS

Written By Famups, Albuquerque, NM on Monday, June 25, 2012

This is a really, really nice Golf GPS. Seemed rather large at first but didn't even notice after started playing round. Great for home course after you set up yardages too hazards. Very happy with purchase.

Pros:So much more convenient than belt clip models. No membership fees. Easy to read in sunlight. Liked the idea of setting up my own waypoints and very easy to do.

Cons:No overview of entire hole and no yardage to hazards. This hurts when playing course for the first time. Would be nice if able to mark trees, hazards, water as left or right when you set up S3.

This was my Father's Day gift, it downloaded the courses quickly but the battery didn't last as long as it says, but it did last through an entire game. I am quite content and I annoy my friends by making fun of how big other gps's are. I recommend it.

Features

Overview: The Garmin Approach S3 is a wrist-worn golf GPS unit combined
with a lightweight sports watch. Its memory is loaded with distance information for
more than 29,500 pre-loaded golf courses worldwide. The S3 uses a high-sensitivity GPS receiver to measure individual shot
distances and track how far you walk on the course. No subscriptions or setup fees are required. The Approach
S3 is compliant with USGA rules.

Display: The Approach S3 has a 1" x 1" monochrome
touchscreen LCD with a resolution of 128 x 128 pixels. The display's Hole View indicates the number of the hole being
played, the distance to the back, center, and front of the green, and the par
for the hole. On-screen icons display a low battery warning, GPS use, and alarm
active indication. The display color can be changed from black on a white
background or white on a black background.

Included Maps: The Approach S3 has CourseView map
data loaded in its built-in flash memory. The data contains distance information
to the front, back, and center of the greens for more than 29,500 golf courses
worldwide. Free map updates are available from the Garmin website,
and can be downloaded from your PC to the Approach S3 using the supplied
USB/charging cradle. Installed CourseView maps include:

CourseView Medium US/Canada 3.40

CourseView Medium Europe 3.00

CourseView Medium Australia/NZ 2.50

Functionality: The Approach S3 initially takes 30-60 seconds
to acquire satellite signals and determine your location. As you play, the unit automatically updates your position, giving you the exact yardage to the
front, center, and back of the green. Because pin placement varies, you can
touch and drag the pin to the day's location. You can also measure the distance of
a particular shot. For Par 4 and 5 holes, you can view a list of layup and
dogleg distances. During the round, you can save and label up to five locations, such as water hazards or bunkers,
on each hole. Distance units can be set to yards or meters.

Digital Scorecard: During your round, you can enter your
score by entering + or - the number of strokes over or under par. Your total
score (relative to par) is updated as each hole's score is entered. If
necessary, you can select any previously played hole to change the score for
that hole. Before you start the round, you can select Stroke Play or Stableford
scoring. (Stableford points are awarded as specified by the USGA.) At the end of
your round, you can connect the Approach S3 to your computer to view and save
your scorecard.

Touchscreen and Button Controls: The S3 lets you maneuver
through the menus and settings by touching the screen. Different than most
mobile devices, the touchscreen is designed so you can operate it with your
fingertip or while wearing gloves. It is optimized to prevent accidental touches
while you play, requiring a firm press to select items or change pages. The unit has
three buttons on the sides and two touch sensitive icons on the perimeter of the
face:

Power/Light Button: for turning on the backlight, and for turning the
device on or off

Measure Button: for measuring the distance of a shot

Score Button: to enter your score for the hole

Menu Icon: to open the menu for the current screen

Return Icon: return to the previous screen

Watch: In addition to its GPS functions, the Approach S3 is
a digital watch. By default, the watch time is set automatically when the device
acquires satellite signals. You can also set the time manually. The watch also
has an alarm, and can display 12-hour or 24-hour time formats.

Odometer: The Approach S3 has a built-in odometer to
measure your total time and walking distance as you play the round. The odometer
automatically starts and stops when you start or end a round. It can also be
started or stopped manually, as well. You can turn the
odometer off if you desire.

Power Requirements: The Approach S3 operates on a rechargeable Lithium-ion, coin cell battery. In the GPS mode, a fully charged
battery should give you up to 8 hours of continuous use while playing golf. The Power Save mode
turns off the GPS receiver after a period of inactivity, and displays only the
time and date. If you are using the unit in the Power Save mode continuously, a
fully charged battery should provide up to 4 weeks of battery life.

Battery Charging: The unit comes with a magnetic charging
cradle/USB cable, and an AC adapter with a USB port. You can charge the battery
using ordinary household current, or while the unit is plugged into your
computer's USB port.

Waterproof: The Approach S3 is waterproof to IED Standard
60529 IPX7, which means that it can withstand immersion in one meter of water for up to
30 minutes.

Optional Carrying Case: To protect your Approach S3 when not
in use, Garmin offers an accessory
carrying case. The zippered case can hold the watch, AC adapter, and
charging cradle.
